This rescue system is certified according to the standards EN 12491 and LTF NFL II
91/09, and has been specially developed as a manually deployable rescue parachute for
paragliding, powered paragliding and hang gliding. Its use in connection with other flying
activities, such as parachuting, skydiving or base jumping, is not permitted!
The use of this rescue system requires appropriate flight training.Before each take-off, the
pilot must check all parts of the flight equipment for airworthiness.
The permissible operating time of the rescue system is ten years, starting with the first
commissioning. This also applies if the rescue system has never been deployed.
The date of the first commissioning must be noted on the approval label on the reserve
riser at the time of purchase. This date is decisive for the ten-year operating period as well
as the regular packing intervals, which are documented in the packing and inspection
record booklet.
After ten years, the operating time can be extended by the manufacturer for a further two
years. For this, it is required that the rescue system undergoes a factory inspection, and
is extensively tested and re-measured. If the condition proves satisfactory, the two-year
operating time extension will be guaranteed and documented.
Depending on the intended use, two different inner containers are available for the
DIAMONDcross:
• Standard flat container for harnesses with integrated container compartment
• Inner container for external containers and front containers
Both containers are designed as pocket containers with separate compartments for
the lines and the canopy, so that the canopy is released only after the lines have been
stretched. This ensures a controlled opening of the canopy and reduces the risk of
the reserve becoming entangled in the glider, especially when deploying in SAT-like
rotations.
Inside the CHARLY pocket container, the canopy is protected from dirt in the best possible
way, and unintentional release of the line bundles is reliably excluded.
